Hugo Ekitike: Why do players get booked for taking their shirt off?

Amir in Cardiff: I know what Ekitike did was really daft but let’s not treat this like an act of serious foul play. We have Isak and Chiesa and his absence will be short lived.

Harry: The guy just over-celebrated against a Championship side, he hardly did a Balotelli in front of the away fans.

Andy in Gloucestershire: Remember that yellow card Declan Rice got? Widescale condemnations, he knew he was on a yellow card, the red card was inevitable. What is the difference here? The rules are clear.

James: Is it time to introduce ‘technical’ yellow cards? The number of ways players can get booked (taking a free kick too quickly), it seems unreasonable.

Martin: Surely a second yellow for non-dangerous behaviour could result in a sending off, but not a ban? It punishes the offence within its context, but doesn’t penalise where the deterrent or educational impact of the sentence is unnecessary.
